We eat babies

The Australian’s Defrag column is always entertaining. Today it brings sad news.

Wired.com is reporting that the George Bush-Dick Cheney re-election campaign was quick to change a tool on its website that allowed users to insert their own slogan above a Bush-Cheney 04 logo and print a personalised campaign poster, after they discovered people were — gasp! — using it to make anti-Bush signs. If they couldn’t see that coming, it’s no wonder they couldn’t find any WMDs.

I’m glad I got in early — a Bush/Cheney “We Eat Babies” poster takes pride of place on my wall. The Wired article gives some other entertaining examples.

I found the poster generator after reading about the creative use of another Republican campaign tool — one that’s of greater consequence and more difficult to stop.

    In even more devestating news, UWA sports look like kicking Edwards and Torre’s soccer team out of their league and in to another all-male league, even though they have a mixed team!

    This may mean no bloggers vs bloggers match!

    Oh boo, I love those sorts of things. You can write anything.

    Which, apparently, is the opposite of Kerry, who can’t even remember attending a meeting where such easily forgotten matters as assassinating Senators were discussed? Please correct me if I’m wrong about this, as I’m always keen to avoid factual errors.

    What are you talking about, Norman? What is the opposite of Kerry?
